MultiSensor: Multisensors process the data returned from multiprobes. Select
this type to create a multisensor that responds to the simple probes used in a
multiprobe.

Sensor: Select this type if this sensor is a simple sensor that responds to
a simple probe.

Description

Enter an optional description of the sensors function.

Sensor type [sensor_type]

Specify how the results from the probe are processed.

Classifier: This field is not currently used.

Java: This field is not currently used.

Javascript: Returned data from the probe is processed in the sensor itself,
outside the application, and is visible to the user. This is the most common
sensor type.

Multiline Text: This field is not currently used.

XML: The XML data from the probe is broken into pieces. Some pieces can be
used to launch other probes that the original sensor needs to complete all the
necessary information about a device.

Active

Select this option to enable or disable the sensor.

Script

Enter a script to run when processing the probe. You can use the
g_probe_parameters hashmap in a sensor script to set probe parameters for any
configured, triggered probes. For example, this code sets a
'node_port' parameter to 16001 for all triggered
probes.

g_probe_parameters['node_port']=16001;

Responds to probes

Use this related list to specify the simple probe within a multiprobe whose
payload this multisensor must process. This list is available for multisensors
only.

Triggers probes

Use this related list to specify which probes this sensor can start for
additional exploration.
